Fixed the alternator mount and re-tuned the carb. Took it for it's longest drive yet, about 20 miles of mixed freeway and street driving. Both the car and the wife survived the trip. Seems to like idling at ~900rpm in gear, but it idles rich and I can't seem to lean it out much without killing the idle altogether. Part throttle cruise sucks below 2000rpm unless I'm in 4th gear and locked up. There's a bit of a flat spot/hesitation when transitioning out of idle or cruise. WOT works wonderfully...but I suspect I can lean it all out a bit. More tuning to come...along with a lot more driving.
